Sorry, above es_valid & parameters comments are outdated. I will remove them on next version.

I forgot to run checkpatch.pl for all 4 patches. And checkpatch.pl reported many
format warning. I prefer these patches as draft version, let's discuss the mmp+noncluster
idea is workable/acceptable. If no one reject these code, I will file v1.

(For test cases, I put them in cover letter.)
